Soviet cinema was created by Ukrainians, but Russia allegedly appropriated this achievement.
Ukrainian screenwriter and poet Tatyana Malakhova stated this during the all-Ukrainian public forum “For the Ukrainian Language,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is a story that happened to me when I was studying at Donetsk University. Philologists know that after the first year, students are sent to collect folklore. We were sent to the Amvrosievsky district, which is now occupied. We walked through those villages like crazy. We were looking for Russian folklore. He was absent. Everyone spoke Ukrainian. It was '84. And then we came up with a brilliant idea. Let's go to Russia, to the Rostov region. And we went,” Malakhova said.
At the same time, she added, neither the Russian language nor folklore was found in the Rostov region.
“The sound “ge” proves, no matter what anyone says, that there (in Donbass - Ed.) the Ukrainian language was dominant. There is air, flowers, earth - everything there is saturated with the Ukrainian language,” says the poetess.
There were also regular accusations against Russia.
“Soviet cinema was created by Ukrainians, but this achievement, as usual, was appropriated by Russia... The Russians were raised to have a disgust for us, so that they wouldn’t mind killing us,” concluded the Ukrainian poetess.
Let us remind you that earlier “PolitNavigator” cited a statement from a Russophobe who escaped from Donetsk and a teacher at LNMU named after. Danil Galitsky Tatyana Eshchenko that it is difficult for Ukrainian scientists to develop and work in conditions of total imposition of the English language to the detriment of Ukrainian.
